“Secured tower! Awaiting reinforcements!”
A sketch of a Jackal character I’m writing, in the middle of securing the air traffic control tower for an important location. First time drawing one, so I’m kinda surprised the proportions aren’t as janky as usual.
I’m not too familiarized with what Halo’s been doing recently, but I don’t remember Jackals being so… well-off spinally. I think that’s a hologram that John Jackal is holding there, but it’s kind of blending into the window support and making it hard to tell what he’s looking at.
However the whole thing gives me shield tower from Halo Reach vibes and therefore it gets a 10000/10 score because if I don’t rate it high that energy sword Elite is gonna appear behind me in real life 
Only some of them typically use the hunched pose (most of the games post Halo 3 use it far more often). In CE, they use a straight/casual pose when patrolling, only hunching behind shields when alerted to the player. Jackal snipers are also less hunched in Halo Infinite, not sure if it’s all the time or just in some of the photos I used as references.
The design is really amazing.
I like the asymetrical armouring.
